The Guardian pushes a £2-a-month levy on broadband to save their our newspapers

"A small levy on UK broadband providers – no more than £2 a month on each subscriber's bill – could be distributed to news providers in proportion to their UK online readership. This would solve the financial problems of quality newspapers, whose readers are not disappearing, but simply migrating online." - 
David Leigh, The Guardian

Uh huh. And a  £2 levy could save the candlemakers from lightbulbs.

Businesses that are using outdated practices need to die in capitalism. You can't expect people to prop up your failed business because improving your business practices is hard. But even worse, you want to force this upon people.
